Where Friendship, Ministry, and Business Merge

Posted on August 10th, 2010 in Entrepreneur, Life and Family by Fred McKinnon

Hey Gang,

CONFESSION: this is one of those blog posts that is different, and I hesitated to even do this.   But, I’m going to put this out there, for whoever is interested.  This blog is usually visited by friends, family, and those who share similar ministry positions.  So why mix up my business affairs with that?  Well, because it’s a huge part of who I am.

As many of you know (anyone who has followed me via blog, facebook, or twitter for very long), I have a flourishing “e-business”.  To summarize, my company (HPP Enterprises) pulls wholesale pricing from a handful of huge distributors and we resell over 125,000 products on the internet.  About 95% of our sales volume is through Amazon.Com where we’re one of the highest ranked sellers.  In addition, we sell on Buy.Com, Sears.Com, Ebay, and on several custom “niche sites”:

GetSkinsNow.Com (laptop, phone, MP3, electronic skins, cases, accessories)
HPPEnterprises.Com (consumer electronics – TVs, BluRay, Phones, Marine Electronics, MP3, Laptops, Accessories)
DiscountKidsGames.Com (computer games, video games, accessories)
McKinnonOutdoors.Com (outdoors, hunting/shooting products)

One of the things we are trying to do is create a special “E-Blast” about 3-4 times per month, featuring some of our deals, discount codes, etc.

That’s the purpose of this email.  If you’d like to get on that mailing list and perhaps “become a customer” at some point … please do so.  It would be totally cool to actually pass along these products and prices to people we know.

What do we sell?  HAHA – just about anything.  TVs.  Home Accessories.  (we just shipped a whole pallet of Lasco Fans to Amazon.Com).  Video Games (50 of the in-demand “Wii Wipeout” on the way!).  Laptops.  Computers.  Hard Drives. Hardware.  Tents.  Games.  Software.  Accessories.  Hunting Products.  DVD Players.  and the list goes on and on.

When we are able to bulk buy a product or get special pricing .. we’ll send an E-Blast.  If you’d like to be on that list, go for it.  Just fill out the form below, then click the link in the confirmation email.  And hey, spread the word!

    I was recently wondering what your other ‘business’ activities were. This sums it all up nicely.

    Thanks for sharing. I think it is better to have full disclosure about business efforts as opposed to taking ‘the Trojan Horse’ approach.

    I think people appreciate the honesty up front.
